Chapter 492 Congratulations
It is extremely difficult to expect cultural people to get together and work together to do something.
With high aspirations but low skills, eleven out of ten people have different intentions. The opening of Haima Studio is a living example.
However, after more than half a month of hard work, they finally had a home, and Wang Shuo and his group felt a little relieved.
Wang Shuo's rental of the yard served as a reminder to Lin Weimin. Li Guangfu had been busy for him for several years and he owned at least a hundred houses in total. It would be a waste if these houses were left idle every year.
In the past, the rent in Yanjing was low and there was not that much demand for rental housing, but it is different now.
According to statistics, by the end of last year, Yanjing's permanent population had exceeded 11 million, a considerable portion of which were immigrants who had come to Yanjing in recent years.
Coupled with the soaring prices in the past two years, the rent in Yanjing has increased significantly.
If I manage these houses well, I should be able to make a lot of money from rent every year.
The most important thing is that someone can still live in the house. If no one lives in a house, it will be destroyed quickly. Instead of letting it sit there and losing money on repairs every year, it is better to collect some rent.
After all, rent is a small amount of money, so Teacher Lin found Li Guangfu.
"Guangfu, I leave this matter to you!"
When Li Guangfu heard that Lin Weimin was going to hand over the leasing and operating rights of hundreds of houses he owned to him, he felt under tremendous pressure.
The renovation of the Beile Mansion has not been completed yet, and Teacher Lin has assigned him another big task.
"Teacher Lin, I don't have much experience in this matter!"
"Who is born with the ability to do this? You have to learn it step by step! Anyway, you are already familiar with the work of the agent before. Now the most you have to do is to register a company and hire two people. It's not difficult."
"This..." Lin Weimin's persuasion made Li Guangfu hesitate.
"Think it over and I'll give you 20% of the management fee. If you can do it well, you'll earn at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year." Lin Weimin said quietly.
Hearing this figure, Li Guangfu was tempted. He could earn tens of thousands of dollars by working in the Prince's Mansion for two years.
"Okay, leave this to me!"
Lin Weimin nodded with satisfaction, that's right.
With Li Guangfu's help, Teacher Lin can finally become the evil landlord.
Two days later, the Seoul Olympics was in full swing and became the hottest topic in Yanjing City recently.
On weekend mornings, Lin Weimin went to Shi Tiesheng's home to watch the Olympics with him.
"These Koreans are such bastards!" Lin Weimin cursed while watching TV.
Shi Tiesheng, who was usually good-tempered, also looked very bad. The two had just finished watching a middle and light heavyweight boxing match.
The two players in the match were Roy Jones Jr. from the United States and Park Hee-hong from South Korea.
There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides in this match. Although Roy Jones Jr. did not KO his opponent Park Hee-hong, he basically chased Park Hee-hong throughout the match and hit him far more times than Park Hee-hong.
But at the end of the game, the referee actually pulled Park Hee-hong's arm and announced that he was the final winner.
Such blatant fraud not only caused boos from the spectators on site, but also shocked the viewers in front of TVs all over the world.
After a while, Shi Tiesheng got rid of his anger and said jokingly: "These Koreans are really shameless!"
"How can we win a gold medal with dignity? Just wait and see, our country will lose a lot of medals this time."
"Not really?" Shi Tiesheng couldn't believe it.
"You overestimate the character of the Koreans. They want to cheat on the medals. Which of these medal-winning powers would they dare to offend?
They will definitely target us first, and they will pick the weak ones first."
Lin Weimin's words are not nonsense. Historically, China only won five gold medals in this Olympic Games, but according to the results of the previous Olympic Games and pre-match predictions, the Chinese team could have won at least ten gold medals.
Of course, the Koreans don’t just cheat China.
In fact, any athlete who competes with him for medals, no matter which country they are from, cannot escape the clutches of the Koreans.
It’s just that because China is easier to control, it is taken care of more.
In this Olympics, the Koreans made many outrageous moves and used every possible means to win black medals.
There was one match that was the most outrageous. Because the referee made fair judgments in the match, the Korean athletes openly beat the referee. The Korean staff and volunteers on the side not only did not stop them, but even obstructed the rescue.
By the time the referee was rescued, he had been beaten beyond recognition.
This game also became the biggest joke of this Olympics.
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the gate and Lin Weimin went to open it.
"An Yi? Why are you here?" Lin Weimin asked in surprise.
Huang Anyi was a little surprised to see Lin Weimin, "I came to see Tiesheng."
"Tie Sheng, Anyi is here!" Lin Weimin turned around and shouted into the house, then said to Huang Anyi, "Come in quickly! Oh, you are such a rare guest!"
The two men walked to the center of the yard, and Shi Tiesheng came out of the house in a wheelchair. The thresholds of the house had been removed by Lin Weimin, making it convenient for him to come in and out.
Seeing Huang Anyi, Shi Tiesheng was also surprised, "Anyi, why are you here?"
"I came to Yanjing for business, and I came to see you on the way."
After entering the house, Huang Anyi put down the gift she brought for Shi Tiesheng.
"An Yi came at the right time, just in time for dinner." Lin Weimin joked.
Huang Anyi rolled her eyes at him implicitly, as if she was deliberately trying to get a free meal.
Lin Weimin seemed unaware and continued talking to Huang Anyi.
"What have you been busy with lately?"
“Write a book.”
In the past two years, Huang Anyi's creation has been getting better and better, and her works have been emerging in an endless stream. The novella in the "Three Loves" series, which was just completed last year, has received rave reviews and has become another masterpiece of Huang Anyi after "Xiao Bao Zhuang".
Shi Tiesheng said: "I have read the batch of novels you wrote last year. They are really well written."
His praise made Huang Anyi smile.
"I've heard that you were married. This time I came not only to see you, but also to see my sister-in-law." Huang Anyi said.
Just at this time, Shi's father and Cheng Ximi came out of the kitchen with dishes. Shi Tiesheng introduced Huang Anyi to Cheng Ximi, and the two greeted each other.
Father Shi was arranging dinner for everyone. Since Lin Weimin was coming over today, Father Shi and Cheng Ximi specially prepared two extra dishes. It was just right for Huang Anyi to come.
Several people sat down and chatted while eating.
Lin Weimin mentioned that Jin Ying had come to Yenching some time ago to hold a seminar on her works. Huang Anyi said, "I've read her novel, and you even wrote a preface for it."
"That's what she asked. If you publish a book later, I'll write a preface for you."
Lin Weimin smiled and said, it seems like rain and dew are equally distributed.
"I don't want it!" Huang Anyi rejected him without giving him face, "It's better to ask Tie Sheng to write it."
Lin Weimin was speechless and Shi Tiesheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"See? I'm still more popular than you."
Lin Weimin looked at Huang Anyi helplessly and said, "Now, you really don't care about the friendship between classmates at all."
The Olympic broadcast on TV is still going on and the swimming competition has just ended.
Chinese swimmer Yang Anyi won a medal, and Shi's father said, "This athlete has the same name as your friend."
This was said to Shi Tiesheng. He said to his father: "The other person's name is Huang Anyi, and this athlete's name is Yang Anyi."
Mr. Shi was old and his hearing was not very good, so he apologized to Huang Anyi.
After lunch, Cheng Ximi went to wash the dishes, and Shi Tiesheng asked about Huang Anyi's schedule in Yanjing this time.
She came to Yanjing for business this time and would only stay for three days. Today was her last day. She came to see Shi Tiesheng and would take the train back to Shanghai tomorrow.
"You've finally come to Yenching, but you didn't visit the School of Arts?" Lin Weimin asked.
"I went there yesterday afternoon and saw the library you donated."
"I can hear a hint of envy and jealousy in your words!"
Huang Anyi gave him a reproachful look and said, "Why should I be envious? I even saved some books."
In order to expand the library's collection, the National College of Arts contacted many alumni, including Huang Anyi.
She had specially collected a lot of books at that time and planned to send them to the School of Literature, but she didn't expect that with the emergence of such a rich man like Lin Weimin, she had no use for them at all.
Shi Tiesheng asked: "Weimin told me that a group of writers and screenwriters in Yanjing have set up a film and television creation center, led by Wang Shuo, specializing in writing scripts.
I am very interested and plan to participate. Anyi, do you want to join us as well?"
Lin Weimin told Shi Tiesheng about the Haima Film and Television Creation Center as a joke, but he didn't expect that Shi Tiesheng would take it seriously and become very interested in this novel way of collective creation.
In addition, he has many acquaintances in Haima, and he likes to be lively, so he plans to become a member when he has time.
Huang Anyi listened to Lin Weimin talk about the situation of Haima Studio and shook her head firmly.
"It's really not appropriate for you to attend this kind of occasion. It's full of a bunch of rough men, and they tell dirty jokes from time to time." Lin Weimin said.
His words made Huang Anyi feel comfortable. "This method is very novel. If it can really be maintained, some good scripts should be born."
After she finished speaking, she asked Shi Tiesheng, "By the way, are you going to join the writers' group visiting Germany next year?"
Huang Anyi was talking about West Germany. In recent years, West Germany and China have been very close, with frequent cultural and economic exchanges. Domestic writers have visited and exchanged ideas there several times, including twice in 1986 and 1987.
Shi Tiesheng asked in surprise: "There will be more next year?"
"Well, yes. I plan to go there next year. What about you?"
Shi Tiesheng groaned and said, "If I have the chance, I would like to go."
"Then just say hello to the Literary Association. It shouldn't be difficult to get a spot."
What Huang Anyi meant by "not difficult" was Shi Tiesheng's strength and fame.
Shi Tiesheng nodded, and Huang Anyi asked Lin Weimin, "What about you?"
Lin Weimin said casually, "I have already quit the Literary Association. Besides, I will be getting married next year and may need to go abroad for a month or two. If I go to Germany again, I will be away for too long and may not be able to leave for work."
After he finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.
After a few seconds, Shi Tiesheng said, "Then don't say we won't play with you."
Huang Anyi also laughed, "Then I would like to congratulate you in advance!"
My waist hurts so badly that it is very painful to write. I will only update twice today so I can take it easy.
